1901 Census, He's a Brushmakers Carter living on Boodle Street, Ashton Under Lyne.

Hi Pauline, alas I cannot, I've never found any evidence of a wedding taking place. The only mention I have of Samuels parents are from an 1891 census. John Davies and Elizabeth Davies are living with (amongst others) John's step daughter Emma Newat. The middle J initial comes from the 1901 census.

Was he by chance William Samuel Davies born 1879 Chester no mothers maiden name ref 8a 439

Have you searched for any NEWAT surnamesLouisa Maud

It's not impossible, if they got the names the wrong way round. There are a couple of candidates ive seen on the free bmd search, a year either side of 1877, theres just no way to prove which one (if any) he is.

I did find an Elizabeth J Newat which must be her. It was in an 1871 census in Nantwich, said she was a school mistress from St Ives. Later censuses have her birthplace in Birkenhead. Newat also appears to be an incredibly rare surname, so much so that I wonder if its a mistranscription?

This is a branch of the tree that I've taken rather a long break from so am just retracing my steps atm.
